Here is the latest in my extremely sporadic blog about my photographic exploits. This post is all about a wonderful trip to Patagonia, which took place over December 2025/January 2026. If you've got 5 minutes, please take a look. Thanks. www.photorippin.com/blog/patagon... #PhotoRippin

Patagonia - a dream destination — PhotoRippin

Over Christmas and New Year 2025/26, I was fortunate enough to spend 4 weeks in Patagonia. Photography wasn’t the only focus – I was there with my wife to do a load of trekking and rock climbing. Howe...

Wildflowers for #Sharemondays2026 this week. #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Some time ago I entered a portfolio of images of mist-filled woodlands to the 'Photographing the British Isles' comp. I made it to the final 3 but didn't win. Here are the images anyway, as they represent one of things I like doing most - picking out fleeting moments amongst the trees. #PhotoRippin

Here are my 4 entries for the July round of #FSPrintMonday. #PhotoRippin

For #Sharemondays2026 this week - some surprise early morning mist burning-off as the sun appeared and the day began to warm. This is from Wednesday of last week. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

There was a brief bit of mist lingering over the nearby fields & woods this morning. It didn’t last long before it all burned away. #Hawkshead #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

When you stay out climbing a bit too late, you do get to witness some lovely sunset-type light. This was after a dash out to Runestone Quarry yesterday evening after finishing work. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #mountains #mist #fog #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

My entry for #Sharemondays2026 this week is this scene I pass by very regularly. On this morning there was some lingering mist, adding a nice bit of mood. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

A little bit of lingering mist on the edges of Grizedale Forest yesterday morning. #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #GrizedaleForest #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

These are my 4 entries for the June round of #FSPrintMonday. Mostly mist-filled treescapes from the Lake District, plus an image of a blackbird emerging from the shadows. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #mist #fog #trees #blackbird #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

For #Sharemondays2026 this week - a quiet moment in the woods on a windless, mist-filled morning last week. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Two more from last week's wander in the woods. #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Three more shots from a couple of hours early on Wednesday morning, spent in my local mist-filled wood. #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

More trees in the mist. #Hawkshead #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Another one from yesterday's mist-filled morning. #Hawkshead #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

I was very pleasantly surprised this morning when I looked out the window and everwhere was wrapped in a heavy mist. Cue a rapid exit from the house towards my local woods with camera in hand. The mist hung around for a while, so lots of pictures to process. Here's one for starters. #PhotoRippin

At the end of each year, I usually post a summary of some of my favourite/best images from the previous 12 months. I never got around to doing that 6 months ago, so here, somewhat belatedly, are snapshots of my 9 favourite Lake District images from 2025. #LakeDistrict #Trees #Mountains #PhotoRippin

I'm always in awe of the way that woodlands burst with colour at this time of year. That colour is, of course, overwhelmingly green, but there's virtually every shade and hue of green imaginable. It's glorious. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #green #PhotoRippin

Blackbird emerging from the shadows - my entry for #Sharemondays2026 this week. #LakeDistrict #photohour #Cumbria #photography #birdphotography #birds #ukbirds #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Getting a bit obsessed with photographing blackbirds at the mo! #blackbird #LakeDistrict #photohour #Cumbria #photography #birdphotography #birds #ukbirds #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

A favourite little tree-lined lane. #Hawkshead #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

It was very wet on Saturday in the Lake District & I was unsure whether my camera would seem much action. However I always take a camera & as the rain eased, this cliff loomed out of the mist. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #mountains #mist #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

For #Sharemondays2026 this week - a suprisingly calm and misty morning in the forest last week, made for some lovely conditions amongsts the deep greens of summer. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Standing apart from the crowd. #GrizedaleForest #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
